Listen to the Voice of God in the Storm

The storm makes my heart beat wildly.
Listen all of you to the voice of God,
To the thunder that comes from His mouth.
He sends the lightning accross the sky,
From one end of the earth to the other.

Then the roar of His voice is heard,
The majestic sound of thunder,
And all the while the lightning flashes.

At God's command amazing things happen,
Wonderful things that we can't understand.
He commands snow to fall on the earth,
And sends toreents of drenching rain.

He brings our work to a stop,
He shows us what He can do.
The wild animals go their dens.
The storm winds come from the south,
And the biting cold from the north.

The breadth of God freezes the waters,
And turns them to solid ice.
Lightning flashes from the clouds,
As they move at God's will.
They all do what God commands,
Everywhere throughout the world.

God sends rain to water the earth,
He may send it to punish us,
Or to show us His favour.
